A Spouse’s Wishful Thinking
Sunday, October 1st, 2023 -- by Bacchus
Someone sent me this:
It’s captioned “my husband suffers from a disease called wishful thinking.” On one level, this is a comedy video that they made together, so I’m not gonna pick on these actual internet funny-people for enacting a joke about a stereotype: the “no” wife who makes fun of her horny husband for wanting “too much” sexually. But I’m easily seduced into meta-analysis. I start thinking about the structure of the joke, and about the stereotypes the joke invokes. Which stereotypical spouse’s thinking is more wishful, truly? His, for wanting something slightly risky and sexually adventurous from his until-death-do-us-part ride-or-die life partner? Or hers, for assuming she can count on that lifetime of love and loyalty and commitment from him while rejecting and lightly mocking his sexual overtures?
